Week 40 - 42


Reunited (Rescued Hearts, #2)Reunited by Felice Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was almost reluctant to read this book because I love the way that the first book Rescued turned out. I was almost afraid to see that fall apart. But I'm glad I gave it a go. There were times that this story is hard. Not only family crisis but crisis as a couple as well. But as you move through the story you realize that if things work they will be strong than ever. It was worth the journey even though there were some tough moments to get through.
Listened to the audio version and it was really well done.

I felt like you could really feel the love and care between Warwick and Ken. I also love how loving and accepting everyone else was of their relationship. The back story of the assignation is also really getting interesting.

I love how this two just sort of started a relationship without any drama. This story is fun without a lot angst. I have really been enjoying this series. I love how each boy and their relationship is unique and fits the characters perfectly.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really like Amir and the way that he took a transition in his life and made something special. I also like how he didn't walk away from the people that were part of his moving on in life. This story doesn't gloss over the real and ongoing work it takes for someone in the military to reintegrate into life. I also like how Jay is willing to take a chance on Amir and to not let his friend talk him out of what he wanted. This was a great book with many strong characters.

I listened to the audio version and it was very well done.

Week 38 -39

 Well now that we have power and internet I can get to doing the next batch of review. 



Stay LuckyStay Lucky by Halsey Harlow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story has all the feels. Grant is gruff and really not trusting because his feeling were hurt by Leo in the past. But suddenly Leo is back but there are lots of things going on. Then there is Lucky who often steals the show in this story. She is bright and loving. This story has chapters that move the story toward the end interspersed with looking back at the building relationship between Grant and Leo. There are moments to make you laugh and moments to make you cry. But this story is so beautiful and shows the capacity to love.
I listened to the audio version and it was really well down.

View all my reviews Levi's Love (Maine Men #7)Levi's Love by K.C. Wells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While I'm sad to see the end of the series this book was a wonderful ending. I love the fact that these two have been friends for so long and are just now getting together. This story was so sweet. I listened to the audio copy and really enjoyed.

 

View all my reviews All Revved Up (Riding Home #2)All Revved Up by Amy Bellows
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love this story and they way these three are building a life that works for them. I also love all the other fun people who come into their lives. The scenes from New Zealand were tear provoking but so wonderful. This is such a wonderful story of love and dedication.

 

View all my reviews A Little Bit Naughty (Destination Daddies)A Little Bit Naughty by Reese Morrison
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love the way that these two are so drawn to each other from the beginning. I respect that both men aren't sure what they can give beyond the weekend and neither push the other man. Remi is so gentle and willing to learn and follow Isaac's lead. The rest of the story is a wonderful unfolding and the epilogue was very special.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love the fact that Steele doesn't even realize he knows Porter. It is also a great gentleman and doesn't take advantage. I also like how their friends give them a nudge over some bunnies and from there things just seem to grow and grow. Love the beginning of this new series.
Listened to the audio version and it was lots of fun.

View all my reviews Rescued (Rescued Hearts, #1)Rescued by Felice Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A simple animal rescue turns into so much more. Jason has to go through some recalculations about himself. Ryder also has to be willing to rethink some things as well. There are a few really touching moments as they interact with others.
I listened to the audio version and enjoyed it very much.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love that this story lets us see an established couple instead of a new relationship. We also get to see the reality that couples have to keep working on things especially when the situation changes. Cord has to admit to times where he was wrong. They are a great couple and the story is fun and a great HEA.

I love this special moment when Nicky gets to be official who he feels like.
